"Where is the Fairy Bar?" Xia Yibing continued to interrogate it. "At the end of Banyan Street, No. 207, almost close to the city center." "Then why are you here?" "I just flew out to buy some goods. I saw you guys standing on the street looking for death and tried to warn you, but you guys threatened me instead..." This bastard feels quite aggrieved. "What do you mean by seeking death?" "Oh? Don't you know?" The strange bird tilted its head slightly. "How strange... There are actually such stupid people. You must have never been to a library? People who have been to a library would never ask such a question..." "boom!" "I say!" The strange bird jumped up and down, "From midnight to 12 am every day is the carnival time for those monsters. If you don't want to be eaten, you'd better hide in a building! Otherwise, you will be in big trouble!" "monster?"
Hitzfeld was stunned. Then she began to think back. It seemed like it was almost 12 o'clock when they went to bed... "clang--" "clang--" "clang--" The heavy sound of bells cut through the night. Turning around and looking up, the two saw that the gray fog in the sky began to sink, and fog gradually invaded the streets, and visibility quickly reduced from 50 meters to less than 10 meters. "Oops!" The strange bird's voice suddenly became sharp. "I totally forgot about time... Follow me! Follow me if you don't want to die!" It flapped its wings, hovered over the street lamp, snatched away the candle, circled around, and then flew into the street on the side. Xia Yibing was a little hesitant for a moment. She wasn't sure if she could trust the skeleton bird named Simon, and she wasn't sure if she should shoot it. "Follow me." This time it was Hitzfeld who grabbed her hand. "If it was just for itself, it wouldn't have to take the candle." Xia Yibing looked up and saw an orange-red halo gradually moving away in the gray fog. "really."
She nodded and pulled the girl to follow the strange bird. "This is Banyan Street." Hitzfeld took the time to look at the road sign. "The end is No. 207. It will take us back to the Fairy Bar." So it really had no intention of harming them. Xia Yibing felt more confident. At this moment, she suddenly felt a creepy feeling from the bottom of her heart. It was as if some unknown, strange existence was staring at her, licking her spine with an invisible tongue, constantly transmitting a chill to her bones. Reflexively, she fell forward with Hitzfeld. As they leaned forward, both of them could clearly feel that something... like a limb of some creature, touched their flying hair. "boom!" They fell to the ground at the same time. After falling to the ground, Xia Yibing did not try to look back. She pulled Hitzfeld with her, staggering a little, and led her to an alley, almost crawling like a lizard, and then she had the mind to look up. It was a bright blue, crystal clear creature that looked like an umbrella cap. It floats in the air about 20 meters above the ground. The diameter of the umbrella canopy is about 4 meters. Countless tiny fluorescent lines hang down from under the umbrella, like willow branches swaying slowly in the air in spring. "Star jellyfish..." Hitzfeld heard her gnashing teeth. "I've been through a life and death situation..." Is this the star jellyfish? Hitzfeld looked closely at the amazing creature. Those lines should be the tentacles of the jellyfish. They are really long... Even at such a high distance, the ends of the tentacles are less than half a meter from the ground. "This is one of the most terrible nightmares hatched from nightmares." Xia Yibing held her hand tightly. "Most of them come out of the heads of dreamers." "if……" Hitzfeld swallowed. "What would happen if I got tangled in those lines?" "What will happen?" Xia Yibing glanced at her. "He'll be sucked half-dried."
"Half-mummy?" "Yes... They will leave their prey with a breath, then lay eggs on the remains and reproduce." I got goose bumps all over my body. Less than a minute after the first star jellyfish floated past, they saw the second and third ones. Obviously, as time goes by, their number will increase, and this alley will not be very safe. Have to hide in a building. Both of them remembered the strange bird's warning. But now it's obviously impossible to get out. Star jellyfish began to swim back and forth at both ends of the alley, each jellyfish spreading out its tentacles, like a series of filters passing across the street. If you want to move forward under such a blockade, you must lie flat on the ground with your whole body, using the less than half a meter gap. This is extremely dangerous, because as long as there is a slight mistake in the process, or if a star jellyfish sinks a little and discovers them, they will be surrounded by tentacle nets on all sides and there will be no room for escape. Xia Yibing has not given up hope yet. But she also couldn't think of a way to escape. “Maybe I know what to do.” Hitzfeld said suddenly. Xia Yibing looked back at her in surprise. "The thing said it was called Simon." Hitzfeld stared at her, too. "Don't you find this name familiar?" "Absolutely not." "Here's a hint: Haytham's first adventure in The City of Dreams." “You mean——!” There was shock in Xia Yibing's eyes. "Correct." Hitzfeld nodded slightly. "What we are experiencing now may be the plot in the book." Chapter 25 Fairy Bar [Because he didn't listen to Simon's warning, Haytham was blocked in the alley by hundreds of star jellyfish. Three minutes ago, he witnessed with his own eyes that those who were traveling with him were swallowed by jellyfish and parasitized by follicles. This terrible and dark scene completely destroyed his faith. He knelt on the ground in despair and crying, asking the goddess and the sun for guidance. At this moment, he happened to find a deep crack on the ground in the alley. He tried to dig it with his fingers and accidentally found a secret passage that might have been left here by a pioneer.]
Bella Haytham◎"Dream City" -------- "Cough cough cough-" Coming out from the other end of the secret passage, Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing couldn't help but cover their mouths with cloth and cough softly. It was unknown how many years this secret passage had existed, and the air below was extremely turbid. Not only did one have to endure the damp, rancid smell caused by the rain while crawling, but one also had to keep one's nerves tense and constantly reach out to feel around in front of and above one's head. Because they didn't know which way to climb, they didn't know if there were any branches in the secret passage, and they didn't know if there was an exit above that they might have missed. Fortunately, there is no fork in this secret passage. The exit is at the top of the end of the secret passage, and you can get out with just a gentle push. Pushing aside his damp hair, Hitzfeld looked up and saw that they were not completely out of danger. This is another dark alley. The difference from the previous dark alley is that the distance to the Fairy Bar has been shortened from nearly 1000 meters to less than meters. It is already a distance worth taking the risk. Standing here, looking towards the left corner of the alley, you can vaguely see an extended building standing alone on the street corner. Bright warm light shone through the windows of the building, and from time to time, figures walked past the windows. It must have been very lively inside. "What's next? What did Haytham do in 'Dream City'?" Xia Yibing asked Hitzfeld. If she could avoid taking risks, she didn't want to climb even one meter. "I'm not sure if I remember it correctly." Hitzfeld shook his head. "It seems that... Simon lured away the jellyfish around him, allowing him to run all the way to the bar." After all, "Dream City" is just one of countless serial novels. It's good that she can remember these, but it's definitely not enough to recite them. Xia Yibing lowered her head and cursed. If they were truly misguided people like Haytham, perhaps Simon would indeed help them. After all, this strange bird... although it looks a bit weird, but at least from its performance so far, it is pretty good to living people. But they had threatened it with a gun, so they naturally didn't expect it to come running to save their lives. Then... I have no choice but to crawl. Ten minutes later, the two of them climbed up the stairs in a somewhat awkward manner. Standing in front of the building, they looked up at the letters on it. [Fairy Bar: Bringing you the most wonderful fantasy] He pushed the door open and the scene he saw made Xia Yibing tremble in his heart. The bar lobby was lively. There were about fifteen tables here. At least four people were sitting around each table. They were chatting and laughing loudly with cards, dice and beer, but when the two people pushed the door open, they stopped what they were doing and turned to stare at them. This was a very warm welcome ceremony. ...if they were truly human. That's right, these "people" have the same weird body structure as Simon, a combination of skulls and flesh torsos.
The difference is that they actually have human torsos and are fully clothed. "..." Hitzfeld swallowed nervously. She could sense that these skeletons were not friendly toward them. What is the story behind "Dream City"? She only remembered two stories, namely "Dream Fairy" and "Black Snake", and the rest of her impressions were blurry. Damn it... If I had known that Haytham was writing about West Grant, I should have memorized the entire article...
